Trying to figure out where to start looking for this massive oil leak. Wet around front of engine, cam seal? Not sure but I don't have a lot of experience with this car so help is needed and appreciated. Going to check PCV TODAY. OIL IS FINDING ITS WAY TO THE WHEELS IF THAT HELPS give an idea how bad it is
when daylight appears I will had a picture or 2

Cam seals are a pretty common leak source for the J-Series engines. The seals started leaking on both my J30 and J32 at around 150,000 miles and 14 years. I am now firmly in the camp of replacing those seals when the Timing Belt service is performed, even if they're not leaking.
In your case, since the leak is significant, it sounds like you need to do the Timing Belt service, along with a new water pump, have the oil pump resealed, and replace the front main crank seal and the cam seals.
